I would like to thank you for the Interviewing Series, and to thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking about buying it.

In advance of an interview last week, I immersed myself in the relevant casts. It was really helpful in getting me focused on where I should be. They also helped me decide what I should be reading, thinking about and preparing for in the lead up to the interview (I had a few weeks). In the interests of you selling more of this excellent product, I'm not going to say exactly what I did and give the game away (!) - but I put show notes on my iPad to read and reread, and the casts on my iPad to listen to as I walked and walked. Every now and then I'd stop the cast and work through my own situation. I'd plan it out in the shower, in the car, anywhere I could talk to myself (!).

It was great to have the series (or, if you like, Mike and Mark!) on my side. The recruiter provided a great deal of input - but the interview showed that her advice and direction was not as helpful or relevant as that of the Interviewing Series.

When they started explaining "Targeted Selection" in the interview, I tried not to smile. I was READY for this!

At the end, I felt a little disappointed. It had been so easy; too easy. Of course you can't every predict every question, but I had done the legwork that meant I was ready.  And feeling like it had been too easy made me worry if maybe I had missed something. Encouragingly though, the feedback was very positive.

There's still more interviews, psych tests and so on to come, so no offer, no champagne yet, and I'm too astounded by my good fortune at having gotten this far to count chickens. But I *do* know that what made that interview as "easy" as it was was the preparation I had done, and that preparation would not have been nearly as effective without the guidance of the Interviewing Series.

Thank you!

Try not to be disappointed as you go through life more and more prepared.  ;-)

Keep us posted.  We're thrilled to be helping.

And remember: until you got something, you got NOTHING.
